Konteks12:10 “I will pour out on the kingship 7 of David and the population of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication so that they will look to me, 8 the one they have pierced.

[2:11] 1 tn Heb “on that day.” The descriptive phrase “of salvation” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[10:6] sn Joseph is mentioned here instead of the usual Israel (but see 2 Sam 19:20; Ps 78:67; 80:1; 81:5; Ezek 37:16; Amos 5:6, 15; 6:6) because of the exodus motif that follows in vv. 8-11.

Col 1:15, 18). Thus, the idea of God being pierced sets the stage for the fatal wounding of Jesus, the Messiah and the Son of God (cf. John 19:37; Rev 1:7). Note that some English translations supply “son” from the context (e.g., NIV, TEV, NLT).
